Abstract

User Interface (UI) design and User Experience (UX) design are essential for the creation of digital products such as web and application designs (Digital Product Design), as they influence user interaction and engagement. UX and UI contribute primarily to aesthetics and visual communication, whereas interactive disciplines focus on usability, interactivity, and user experience. There has been considerable interest in user experience among researchers, which is largely due to the ever-increasing use of the internet in both domestic and industrial contexts. The fields of user interfaces (UIs) and user experience (UX) in particular, have received substantial attention. This is because both UI and UX contribute to an effective interactive visual design and are key to the success of any electronic product. The current study presents an overview of research into UX and UI over the last three decades (from 1990 to 2023). A total of 1,902 publications from this period were identified from the Scopus database. These publications were visualized and analyzed using VOSviewer and Microsoft Excel, enabling the most up to date research on UX to be brought to light. The results from this study provide an assessment of the current developments in UX and UI, as well as directions for future research on a number of aspects of digital product design.
